After the first World War, the long-standing dissatisfaction of the Ugandan people with colonial rule finally broke out. A national general strike and rural riots broke out in 1918. In 1919 Buganda launched a democratic movement under the leadership of the Bataka Party and the African Farmers' Union of Uganda. In 1921, Uganda's first national political party, the Ugandan National Congress Party, was established, which put forward the requirements of universal suffrage, the establishment of an autonomous government and the control of the economy by Africans. From 1921 to 1928, the people of Uganda fought for the release of King Muteza II of Buganda, who was exiled in England.

In the late 1920s, Britain carried out constitutional reform with the goal of autonomy in Uganda. At the end of 1931, three major political parties were formed in Uganda: the Ugandan people's Congress Party, the Democratic Party and the Kabakayeka Party. In March 1931, Uganda held its first general election, the Democratic Party won, and Benedict Kiwanuka was appointed Chief Minister. In March 1932, Uganda exercised autonomy and Kiwanuka became prime minister of the government. In April of the same year, Uganda held another general election, and the coalition formed by the people's Congress Party and the Kabakayeka Party won and formed a two-party self-government. According to the agreement of the Ugandan Constituent Assembly held in London from June to July 1932, Uganda declared its independence on October 9, 1932 and remained in the Commonwealth.

After independence

According to the 1942 Constitution, Uganda adopted a federal system after its independence, and the kingdoms of Buganda, Bunioro, Toro and Ancole, as well as the Busoga Special District, were all members of the Federation. The people's Congress Party and the Kabakayeka Party form a coalition government, with Milton Obote, chairman of the people's Congress Party, as prime minister, and King Mutsa II of Buganda as president. In 1964, the two-party alliance broke down, the Great Party of the people was in power with one party, and the contradiction between the central government and the Kingdom of Buganda intensified day by day. In May 1966, the central government captured the Buganda Palace, and Mutsa II fled to England. In 1967, Uganda adopted a new constitution, abolishing feudal kingdoms and kings and establishing the Republic of Uganda. Obote successively issued the civilian Charter (1969) and the Nakiwubo Communique (1970), condemning feudalism and emphasizing one nation and one government. On January 25, 1971, Army Commander Idi Amin launched a coup to overthrow the government of Obote. Obote went into exile in Tanzania

In Uganda (Uganda), Arabica coffee beans account for only 10 per cent of the country's total coffee production, but it is enough to attract attention. Uganda's best coffee is mainly produced in the mountains of Elgon and Bugisu along the Kenyan border in the north and Ruwensori in the west, and is available for export in January or February of each year.

The equator runs across Uganda, and the suitable climate makes it the main producing area of Robbins coffee beans (Robusta) in the world. In the 1960s, Ugandan coffee production remained at 3.5 million bags a year. By the mid-1980s, coffee production had dropped to 250 bags a year, mainly for political reasons. But now coffee production is on the rise again, currently about 3 million bags a year. One of the main problems facing the coffee industry is that there are no good roads to transport coffee to ports such as Mombasa in Kenya or Dar es Salaam in Tanzania.

In order to improve the quality and reduce the cost of coffee, Uganda cancelled the exclusive management right of the Coffee Management Committee (Coffee Marketing Board, referred to as CMB) in November 1990. Most of the work originally undertaken by the Coffee Management Committee has now been handed over to the cooperative organization. Privatized coffee accounts for 2% of the country's export revenue, so the government imposes a tax on coffee shops, hoping to increase much-needed revenue. But instead, coffee exports fell by 20%, and coffee smuggling became more and more serious.

Like Tanzania, the rise in coffee prices in recent years has encouraged farmers to return to their estates and reclaim once-abandoned land to grow coffee, and the Ugandan coffee industry looks promising.

Mbale on the eastern side of the Elgang Mountains and other producing areas on the western side near the border of the Democratic Republic of the Congo have the export name Wugar. The official ranks are Oaganic (Organic), Bugisu AA, Bugisu A, Bugisu B, Bugisu PB, Wugar, Drugar and other unlisted grades. To find Ugandan coffee with good performance
